For this case we have the following polynomial:
We make the following change of variables:
Rewriting we have
Factoring the second order polynomial we have:
Then, returning the change we have:
Finally, we factor the expression in the parentheses of the second term:
Answer:
the completely factored form is:
This is pretty much asking "what squared it 0.09". The answer is 0.3, as 0.3 to the power of 2 is 0.09
Answer:
150 pennies were lost altogether
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Dante be x pennies
Let the initial number of pennies owned by Mia be y pennies
Mathematically ;
x + y = 350 •••••••(i)
So after losing half, dante will have x/2 pennies left.
Mia lost 1/3 so she will have 2/3y left
So after all the losses, they both had equal amount of pennies
This means that;
x/2 = 2y/3
Cross multiply;
3x = 4y •••••••(ii)
Let’s solve both equations simultaneously;
From i , x = 350-y
Substitute this into equation ii
3(350-y) = 4y
1050-3y = 4y
7y = 1050
y = 1050/7
y = 150
since x = 350-y
x = 350-150 = 200
Now Dante loss x/2 = 200/2 = 100
Mia lost 1/3y = 1/3 * 150 = 50
Total pennies lost = 100 + 50 = 150
The 16 oz bottle costs less. One cent less, to be exact. I came up with this by dividing the total cost (2.40) by the size of the bottle (16). I came up with .15. I did the same with the other cost and size, coming up with .16.
